SCHOOL for DEEP SEA DIVERS
IF YOU think diving is a glamorous profession, visit the Navy's Deep-Sea Diving School, at the Washington Navy Yard, and be disillusioned. Here, picked men are trained in the grim and hard business of rescuing sunken submarines, repairing ship bottoms, and doing a hundred and one specialized mechanical jobs on the bottom of the sea.
With every man a potential hero, facing injury and death in his routine daily work, the idea of developing diving "prima donnas" is discouraged at the outset. Students are sent down to their underwater jobs strictly in rotation, and for periods depending upon their strength and abilityâ€” just as they will be later sent down as regular divers of the navy.

LITTLE GIANTS of INDUSTRY
IF YOU were to select the most remarkable characteristic of modern industry, probably the first thing that would come to your mind is sizeâ€”huge buildings, gigantic machines, massive ships, great airplanes, bulky trucks, mammoth dams, tall derricks, towering excavators, long trains. Man himself seems puny and weak beside his creations.

TRANSPORTATION of TOMORROW
By Otto Kuhler - Consulting Designer on Transportation
CIVILIZATION has stood aghast at the role the airplane has played in altering the map of the world and changing the skylines of bombed cities scattered all the way from Europe to the Orient.
Before many years, when the world has had a chance to bind its war wounds and turn its attention to the improvement of what is left of civilization, the impact of the airplane on other forms of transportation is likely to be as awe-inspiring as those first mass-bombing attacks on the great city of London.

KEEPING AHEAD of the JONSES
ONE sure sign of spring is that annual urge to "do something" about the house and furniture.
Perhaps it's because we stay at home more in the cold season and get a bit tired of looking at the same walls, floors and furnishings. Whatever the reason, the recent growing demand for change in the home has stimulated the invention and manufacture of more and different furnishings, gadgets and building materials than ever. Hundreds of these innovations will be found in your favorite department store, furniture showroom or building supply house this spring with possibly one exception, and this exception is likely to produce the greatest change of all in the home when it is ready for market.

War Calls Out Muscles and Outdated Engines
Both Germany and England are exerting themselves to conserve precious gasoline, and wherever human muscles can do a job they are doing it. Witness, above, the pleasure boat that made its debut recently at Berlin. It has a propeller with chain and sprocket drive calling on arm and leg power; not so romantic as paddling a canoe, but it gets places. At upper right a Londoner pedals to work in a "Velocar," of French origin. In the two-seater model both driver and passenger provide the motive power of the toylike car

"Grand Central" of the Airways
By Allen Warren Elliott
ON a misty morning a little more than a year ago, one of the most remarkable industrial babies ever born was ushered into existence almost exactly in the geographical and population center of New York City.
The industry was aviation and the infant was La Guardia Field, already something of a whopping prodigy because $40,000,000 had been spent to make it the largest port of the skies, bigger than anything England, France, Russia or Germany could offer.
